1. Hey
That's not the part we want you to get. Get the part about liberalism being obsolete. And the bit about only conservatives being trustworthy on National Security. I mean, yeah, we took America into an unnecessary elective war, and then hamstrung our military by trying to win the war in the cheapest way possible, but at least we aren't wimps!

5. Wasn't it closer to 2,000 American's?
Not to belabor the point but does anyone have the totals? I know Brits, Germans, French and many others were killed as well.

And regarding.... it happening on AWOL/Moron's watch.... after reading that 8/6/01 briefing the little moron totally ignored I'm quite certain history will hold him responsible.

8. It was probably closer to 2,000
but you have to speak in primary colors and block capitals to get through to these wingshits.

7. "9/11 happened on Bush's watch"
Those five words would have put Kerry in the WH.

Every Democrat should be uttering those five words every time they get in front of a camera.

10. 9/11 was a golden opportunity for real change, squandered.
Just turned into the weapon to be used and exploited by the Bush Cabal for it's own nefarious ends.

11. And our intelligence was RIGHT on that. But ignored.
The former presidential administration advised that AQ should be priority number one. Ignored as well.

9/11 either happened through the ignorance of the Bush administration, or it was ALLOWED to happen through the ignorance of the Bush administration. Those are the only two conclusions possible when the facts are considered.

They are 4 years overdue for impeachment and electorial ousting.

12. That's because Clinton ignored al Qaeda!
That's the response I have gotten.

"See, prezdint bush is keeping us safe, hasn't been another attack, good thing we re-elected him."

me:(wince)"you know the biggest foreign terror attack ever on the US, 9/11, happened on his watch, when he was prezdint?"

"that's because bill clinton ignored them since they set it all up when he was fucking around"

me:"which branch are you signing up with, army, navy, marines?"

17. I would have added a couple of things
To this stupid remark:

"hasn't been another attack, good thing we re-elected him"

1) We are attacked every day outside the U.S. Not to mention innocent Iraqi's being killed.

2) There is no need for an attack now, because 'terrorists' have accomplished their goal of creating intense unease and an economic drain on the U.S., neither of which are ever addressed by Shrub.

13. By time 3.5 years had passed after Pearl Harbor
We had mobilized the largest military force the planet has ever seen. We defeated the Germans and had the perpetrators of the attack on Pearl Harbor signatures on a treaty. 3.5 years after 9/11 this administration doesn't even know where the perps are. Bush was at the helm of the greatest failure of intelligence in American history. Goes hand in hand with all his other failures. Worse president ever.

16. Also, the guy responsible for planning and carrying out Pearl Harbor
Admiral Yomamota, was dead. Assasinated by order of President Roosevelt at the risk of The US exposing it's breaking of the Japanese naval code. They killed him in '43, I think, so it was fewer than 2 years after Pearl attack.

But just think, if the AWOL/Moron was pres in '41, we'd have attacked Costra Rico in retaliation for Pearl Harbor attack.

14. The thing that keeps nagging my mind, haunting me, pestering me is
this: Why wasn't there any air cover over our nation's capitol on 9/11, not even over the Pentagon? They had almost an hour's notice on that one. There was nothing in the air. They didn't even aim any ack-ack guns skyward. No defense.

It's mind-boggling, when you think about it. And mind-boggling that there is no answer. No one held responsible. No heads rolled. Not even scapegoat heads. And there is no good explanation.

Rumsfeld was in his office at a meeting, so he says. WTC goes down. Plane headed for DC. No...nothing, no orders, no emergency plan, no AF jets in the air instantly to protect the Pentagon and the Capitol? 50 or so minutes go by. Nothing.

I know there are a whole lot of weird and inexplicable things about that day's events. And I'm familiar with all the warnings that the Bush Cartel ignored. This is the thing that keeps coming back to me--maybe because it was the one thing that our protectors in the Pentagon had some potential control over. And they did nothing. And all emergency plans for that kind of occurrence--they all didn't happen. NOTHING was done to defend the Capitol.

And that's just staggering to me. Our Capitol was defenseless!

It's like that the stray thread you might pick at in a weaving or a tapestry, that could unravel the whole. That's just so....wrong, so odd, so out of place. So completely the opposite of what you would expect to occur in that circumstance. The entire government and Defense establishment fast asleep with a murderous plane headed their way, the third of four, with the first two now blazing away in the top floors of the WTC ?

Remember those old cartoon puzzles: "WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?"

Something very wrong there. Very.

I'm waiting for the whistleblower on this one. Because somebody KNOWS. Or several somebodies. And I hope they find the courage to come forth.
